NetFlix Loses Sony

NetFlix (NASDAQ: NFLX) lost Sony’s (NYSE: SNE) movie content and the premium content rental firm said the problem was temporary. The NetFlix announcement does not read that way, which should concern shareholders

Hi, Pauline Fischer, VP of Content Acquisition, here. You may have noticed that Sony movies through StarzPlay are not currently available to watch instantly. This is the result of a temporary contract issue between Sony and Starz and, while these two valued partners work through their differences, we hope you are enjoying the wide variety of new movies and TV shows added daily. In the next few weeks, look for great movie titles like The Fighter, Skyline and Iron Man 2 as well as the first four seasons of Mad Men, all to watch instantly.
